Book Reviews of The Gadfly
Book Review: Of God and men
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read the Gadfly in Spanish when I was twelve, even though I couldn't understand it fully at tat time, something attracted me as a magnet.
I read it again when I was seventeen, and it has been my favorite book since then.
The Gadfy is (In my humble opinion) one of the greatest novels ever written. Beyond political or religious considerations, The Gadfly is a must-have and of course a must-read.
It escapes my understanding why it hasn't been taken to the silver screen after the excellent (1955) very hard to find russian version. I can only imagine the success it would have today.
I'm buying a new copy for my kids, and I recommend The Gadfly to everyone.
Can anybody award it less than five estars?
